For warmer toned ash, alder or basswood body instruments (electric guitars). Works especially well with rosewood fingerboards.

This pickup combines the same vintage coil design as the SSL-1, with hand ground rod Alnico 5 magnets of equal length raised above the flatwork. The flat magnet pattern provides the balanced field necessary for an even response using today's strings (unwound "G") and flatter neck radii. The more even output response is noticed when bending strings. Like the SSL-1, the pickup is clean and vintage-like with a bright "bell" tone that has a sharper attack characteristic compared to the APS-2. Comes with waxed cloth hookup (single conductor) cable and vintage-style "keyed" bottom plate.

The SSL-2 Vintage Flat is available as a regular pickup and also as RW/RP middle pickup.
